🚨 When a government starts rewriting the rules to hide its own actions… that’s not governance. That’s a warning sign.

Across Ontario, 55+ protests erupted against Doug Ford and his government.
Hundreds gathered at Queen’s Park. Thousands more in Ottawa, Waterloo, Sudbury, Scarborough.

Rain pouring. People still showed up.

Why?

Because of laws many are calling anti-democratic:

– Retroactive FOI changes shielding the premier and cabinet from public access
– OSAP changes impacting students
– Plans to expand Billy Bishop Airport for jets
– Ongoing concerns about healthcare funding

And here’s the part that should stop everyone cold:

Ford admitted the FOI change was partly to kill a request for his cellphone records.

People on the ground are saying it clearly:

“If he’s changing the law to stop access… what is he hiding?”

“Democracy is being quietly eroded.”

“We don’t get to know what he’s doing unless he decides to tell us.”

And zoom out for a second…

Because this pattern feels familiar.

Under Donald Trump we’ve seen:

– Attacks on transparency
– Restrictions on information
– Accountability framed as “red tape”
– Power used to shield power

Different country… same playbook?

This is why CBC matters.

Because when governments move fast to limit access, journalism is one of the last lines of accountability left.

So let’s talk about it 👇

What does it mean if a government can rewrite transparency laws to protect itself?

At what point does a majority stop being democratic… and start becoming unchecked power?

Do you see parallels between Ontario and the U.S. right now?

And what responsibility do Canadians—and institutions like CBC—have when this kind of power move becomes law?
